With the easing of the lockdown, public transport is now allowed to operate in the streets. But it is only the bus for now because other transport mode like the jeepneys and the vans cannot provide proper social distancing. Not to forget, the taxicab is also allowed but on a limited capacity too. The bus is on a 30% capacity load only.
With the limitation on the number of passengers, the buses my soon stop plying the routes due to losses. They will not earn a good revenue with the 30% of passengers they ferry. No standing too which is also a big loss of revenue. I hope the buses will continue running despite the losses.
